Reacting strongly to the BJP’s assertions in this regard, the Congress questioned BJP to identify its role in the freedom struggle and thereafter, when the Congress party and its cadres fought the battle for the freedom of the country in which thousands of its leaders and cadres underwent untold sufferings and sacrifices to attain freedom and it continued its legacy of the sacrifices, as the party lost two former Prime Ministers and a Chief Minister for safeguarding the freedom and unity and integrity of the country.
